Creative Suite not compatible with High Sierra 10.13.6

I removed all Adobe Creative Suite applications from my system and reinstalled CS5.5 with updated serial number provided by customer support.  I'm still having compatibility issues with the new download.  Not sure how to go about resolving without paying for new Creative Cloud monthly.

CS6 and earlier programs HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED AND WILL NOT BE UPDATED for Mac El Capitan or newer operating systems

-which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

-Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or newer operating systems

--Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

--READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required

You want to mix old and new. Don't. Go for all old, or all new. Or much pain awaits.
